We need an organised, proactive individual to assist the Programming team. Would suit an enthusiastic, good communicator who is interested in developing technical and computing skills. No previous experience necessary, although basic knowledge of IT is desirable.

Ensure Myriad backup is performed monthly

Attend publicity/fundraising events and promote Radio Wexham

Volunteering at the station is flexible and you give as much time as you can, most members volunteer one night a week for a couple of hours helping with visiting the wards/presenting/producing a show, as well as at our fundraising events.

Our philosophy at RW is you get out whatever you put in!!

The process with the station is after coming in for an interview and subject to receiving references, members usually spend the first 12 weeks as Radio Reps - this involves going round the hospital chatting to patients and getting requests. It's a great way to get to know the hospital and the varied listeners we have.

All our training is of the same standard as the national radio stations and we are now the only station in the UK where members aged 16 to 25 can also have the opportunity to earn an AS Level qualification! We are also part of a national association which offers professional training, seminars and networking.

Due to the nature of the role, a DBS check will be required and we cannot accept applications from under 16s, due to insurance purposes.
